The 5 games are:

✎ Shuffle - Find anagrams and make as many words as you can with the letters provided including the 5, 6 or 7 letter target word to unlock the next level. The more small words you get, the bigger your score. Use the Shuffle button to spin, twist and mix the letters up and help yourself spot more words!

New levels bring new board shapes and board sizes to complete, each with a different challenge. Use special tiles to boost your word power, score bonus points and help you to solve the trickiest puzzles!

✎ Spellmaster - Challenge your spelling skills against words of increasing difficulty. Choose the correct spelling from a choice of 4 words, 3 of which are misspelled! Easy at first, it gets more challenging as you are tested on words that you certainly don’t see every day!

The game also includes a built-in dictionary where you can check the definitions of obscure words. Access it through the Bookcase tab or by tapping on a word while you play! It will also keep a handy text scrapbook of the recent words you've seen in case you want to find out what a new word means and you can even share the definition on Facebook or Twitter!

Absolutely Love it but it has problems.

I LOVE this app. Had it on an old tablet and was thrilled to find it for my iPad. Sadly, it crashes after a few games and then, though it still functions, it loses some of my favorite features. Most notably the feature that lets you find out what a word means. Every time it crashes it resets itself so former accomplishments are gone. I can delete and re- download the game to restore full functionality, but it crashes again after a few games. As I am on limited data plan I cannot keep doing this over and over. If you are willing to put up with its foibles this is a great word game. I just really wish the folks who sold it to me would deem it worthy of a fix. Seems only right.

Good games but problems

Opening the program on my iPad is a chore. It acts like it is opening then just closes. I reopen it and it takes several seconds to get to the game choice screen. When I choose a game and then the level, there is another delay of several seconds. It has crashed a couple of times and given me messages about “encountering an error.” When - and if - I get to the games, it seems okay. I like the choice of games, the hardness levels, and especially the “doodles.” When it’s working correctly, it’s a great game to kill an hour or two and can be easily set down without any major problems. I hope how soon Astraware updates, as I would like to keep the program on my iPad.

Love this app!

This game is truly wonderful! Not only are there a variety of games, but there are several levels within each one. Some levels involve time challenges, while others do not. There is something to love for everyone.

Despite a recent quirk, where the game initially appears to crash, but easily is reopened and then works (that I expect developers to correct soon), this is probably the most enjoyable set of word games I have ever played.
